The best in Europe! Lamine Yamal matches incredible Bruno Fernandes passing stat as Barcelona superstar moves behind only Mohamed Salah with gorgeous assist in win over Atletico Madrid

Another Clasic is on the horizon as Barcelona joined Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final after beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg of the semi-finals at the Metropolitano Stadium. With the first leg ending in a thrilling 4-4 draw, a 27th-minute goal from Ferran Torres was enough to send Hansi Flick's men through. Lamine Yamal was one of the better performers on the night and ended the match with a sumptuous assist to set up Torres. With another direct goal involvement, the 17-year-old matched Bruno Fernandes' impressive passing stat.

Per Opta, Spain international Yamal has leveled Manchester United captain Fernandes for successful through balls, with 37 each to their name. That's higher than anyone else in Europe's top-five leagues.

Yamal is also only behind Liverpool's Mohamed Salah when it comes to assists from open play, too. Indeed, the Barca winger's 17 means he trails the Egyptian, who is top of the pile, by just five.

Yamal played 87 minutes before being subbed out for Gerard Martin in the win over Atletico, and he left the pitch with a bloodied ankle following a heavy challenge from Atletico defender Clement Lenglet in which the Frenchman caught the teenager with his studs. There doesn't appear to have been any lasting injury suffered, though, much to the relief of Barca and their head coach Hansi Flick.

The La Masia graduate will be eager to continue his strong form when Barcelona welcome Real Betis at the Montjuic on Saturday, April 5. The Catalans are currently three points clear of rivals Real Madrid at the top of the Liga table.
